After leaving the secret police station, Peter booked Locke into the most luxurious hotel in the area. At that time, he did his best to act as a host.
“You can have fun in Heavenly City tomorrow. I’ll prepare the car and driver for you. If there’s anything, contact me immediately…” Peter sent him off and left.
Locke, who was now free, did not know what to do.
He simply called the two flight attendants.
As waiters on the plane, they came to Heavenly City with Locke. At this time, they were shopping in the department store.
When they found out that Locke had really called them, they excitedly went to Locke’s hotel.
…
The next day, Locke hugged the two hot girls and started to play around Heavenly City.
He visited all the famous attractions and places in the mainland.
Money was naturally not a problem for him.
Locke was very generous! He bought many high-end things for the two beauties. It made countless passers-by envious.
The passing beauties kept stuffing their cards with their phone numbers into his pocket.
“It’s great to be rich!”
Locke felt that this was heaven!
…
The day of the auction.
At 7:30 pm, Locke arrived at the address he had previously found.
This was a manor in the suburbs.
All kinds of high-end luxury cars were parked outside.
“It seems that there are quite a number of people interested in the Swift Hurricane Hammer. I wonder what they are here for…” Locke took out a brooch from his pocket and put it on before walking toward the door.
Two guys in black suits came forward and asked, “Sir, please show me your invitation letter…”
It was over. Peter had not prepared this for him.
“No…” Locke shrugged. The Twin-headed White Jade Snake appeared in his sleeve.
“I’m sorry, without an invitation letter, I can’t…”
Just as the gatekeeper was about to chase Locke away, the man was hit in the back of the head!
“Pa!”
The person who hit him was obviously their leader. He said angrily, “Are you guys blind? This lord’s clothes were given to him by the royal family! How dare you to stop him? Don’t you want to work anymore?”
Locke did not expect that this set of clothes would be so effective!
Following that, the leader looked at Locke with a pleasant expression and said, “Respected Beastmaster Sir, we have prepared seats according to your status. Please follow me…”
The manor was not smaller than Adelaide’s.
However, everyone was gathered in the largest villa.
Countless celebrities were also present.
The scene was very lively.
“Aiya! Viscount! I didn’t expect you to be an outstanding Beastmaster!” A well-known young female celebrity came over with a glass of champagne, wanting to get close to Locke.
Locke was stunned!
The reason why he had such a reaction was not because this sexy female celebrity, whom all the men on the continent were infatuated with, was winking at him.
It was because of the way she had addressed him!
Viscount?
When did this happen? Why didn’t Locke know about it?
However, Locke quickly calmed down. He thought about what had happened recently.
Soon, the sexy female celebrity’s words solved his doubts.
“If only I had a medal of nobility! I really envy you… Oh right, do you have time later?”
So, that was it!
Peter did not give him a brooch at all! It was a medal that represented the title of Viscount!
Locke was baffled! He had never liked these titles.
The king even insisted on giving one to him. What did he mean?
Now was not the time to care about these things.
After taking the phone card from the female celebrity, he followed the person from before and continued walking inside.
There were many people here. Everyone was chatting and drinking with each other. In their words, they were looking forward to the auction.
“Did you know? There’s only one antique…”
“Of course! This is the so-called unique item!”
“There’s too much room for appreciation!”
“It belongs to me…”
“Come on, with that little coin of yours…”
After Locke walked past them, the leader opened the door and led Locke into a luxurious hall.
“Sir, do you mind if I check your identity? After all, you understand that this auction isn’t open to the public. We have to be careful…”
That person smiled and called over one of his subordinates.
The other party’s Battle Beast was a little big-eyed monkey.
A ray of light shot out from that Battle Beast’s eyes and shone on the medal on Locke’s chest.
Soon, it was jumping around on its master’s shoulder as it chattered.
The master naturally knew what it meant.
He whispered, “It’s true…”
“Please come in, your seat is on the left…”
The two of them politely led the way.
As soon as Locke sat down, the waiter brought over a glass of champagne.
In a few minutes, everyone entered the magnificent hall one after another.
Soon, the lights dimmed.
Everyone knew that the moment they had been waiting for had arrived.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage with a microphone.
He seemed to be very popular. The moment he walked on stage, he received cheers and applause from everyone.
This was the man that Locke had seen in the secret police department’s files. He was the behind-the-scenes boss of Harrington Company – Duke Butler!
“He really has an extraordinary bearing…”
“He can still be so handsome at his age…”
“His wife has already died of illness. We have a chance…”
“The black market boss with a royal background is really arrogant…”
Duke Butler, who was immediately the focus of everyone’s attention, looked relaxed and said into the microphone, “Everyone! Welcome to the first auction of Harrington Company!”
“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap…”
Following that, there was a burst of warm applause.
“I believe everyone knows that I’ve never held such an event before, but it doesn’t matter! Everyone here is a prominent figure in Heavenly City! I won’t set a minimum bid! Let’s begin!”
After a round of applause, Butler seemed to enjoy being the center of attention.
He decided to do his job as a host and explained as he gestured to the glass cabinet covered in black cloth, “Everyone, please take a look at the first item in the collection!”
After the staff removed the black cloth, a burst of dazzling light shone even brighter under the gaze of the lights!
“Oh my god!”
“Is the first item so explosive?”
“I’ve finally seen it…”
“This is great…”
“This is… The ‘Diamond Dolphin’!”
Diamond Dolphin was a very rare Battle Beast.
It had almost no offensive ability. Its body size was also not big.
However, it was precious due to its value. It was a symbol of status!
The dolphin, which was shining all over, kept swimming in the big fish tank filled with seawater.
It seemed to be in a state of panic.
